Overview

Valparaiso Fishing Pier (often called the “T-Pier”) is a public community pier on North Bayshore Drive in Valparaiso, and it’s promoted locally as a roomy pier with on-site restrooms and fish-cleaning stations. It’s a calm-water bayou/bay setting, making it ideal for light-tackle inshore-style fishing rather than surf species.
